The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Mitt Romney attracting 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) more are undecided.

Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, I find that complete and utter BS. If 50 percent (Republicans) dont want another candidate than they are dumber then I imagined.

Most of that will dissipate after the conventions. Some (including a notable number here on FR) still harbor the irrational hope that a white knight will ride to the rescue, sweep the delegates off their feet, and deliver a Palin/Gingrich/Paul nomination.

Like the health care law, FOLKS HAVE MADE UP THEIR MIND ON OBAMA! He will not and cannot get above 42-43% nationally at MOST on election day.

He can’t buy more support, he can’t attack Romney into obliviou.. because as I’ve been trying to tell the naysayers and sky is falling types, this election has, was and always will be about 1 thing.. OBAMA.

Its a referendum on him, and nothing more.. And its a referendum he’s going to lose and lose badly, and democrats down the ticket will be thrown out as well.

The press can spin, Obama and his supporters can buy TRILLIONS in ads, and IT WON’T MATTER!.. Folks made up their mind a long time ago, and nothing is going to change it.

The very notion this guy could win re-election is a flat out lie, and has been from day one. The whole “He’s inevitable”, which was bought by way too many people within Republican circles last year, was laughable.

OBama is, everything the left accused Bush of being, arrogant, incompetent, etc etc etc, and only the leftist kool aid drinkers are going to vote for him, he’s got no shot at winning anything remotely resembling a majority. Come election day, this guy si going to be LUCKY to have 40% of the popular vote.

He cant buy more support, he cant attack Romney into obliviou.. because as Ive been trying to tell the naysayers and sky is falling types, this election has, was and always will be about 1 thing.. OBAMA.

I think the public has got a good look at Obama the Chicago thug these past few weeks. Since he has no record to run on the only thing left was his sweetness and cool image. That is in tatters now. He just sounds like a punk.

I do think the sheer chutzpah and hypocrisy of Reverend Wright’s Altar Boy questioning Romney’s character has astonished even the most casual observer. He just can’t get away with this crap the way he did last time.

And thus all this gnashing of teeth the past two weeks on our side was total crap. Romney has the money to spend...they like where they are in July...a President burning through his campaign money and still sitting in the mid-40s.

As always, I clarify my opinion that Romney was probably my last choice in the field, but he beat the rest. While I don’t have high confidence in him for his presidency, I do not think his campaign is lacking in effective leadership. If they saw they were falling in the polls, they would act accordingly. Instead, I believe they see a cornered Rat, and one that is blowing their only real potential Ace in the class warfare Bain attacks...in June and July. It is a desperation move, and one that is not seeing any real impact in the polling.

Or if they think the current line of attack has been effective. Remember Obama and Begala has said "this is what the campaign will be about." There is zero empirical evidence that these Bain Attacks have paid any dividends. How many of his brain dead followers are going to pony up the bucks for pursuing more of the same?

He’s spending money at the worst possible time...in July. It has to be sheer desperation, doing something for the sake of doing something. It wouldn’t matter if he spent 10 times that much, no one is listening now. TV watching is at its lowest point. It’s probably hurting him if anything because people absolutely hate political commercials and to be getting them in the summer probably just pisses off the people that are actually seeing them.
